About Stanford University

Located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford University is recognized as one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions.

Teaching, learning and research are part of a single enterprise at Stanford. Faculty and students alike embrace the numerous opportunities -- in the classroom, the lab and the library -- to merge education with scholarship.

Stanford's current community of scholars includes 16 Nobel laureates, four Pulitzer Prize winners and 24 MacArthur Fellows. Stanford is particularly noted for its openness to interdisciplinary research, not only within its schools and departments, but also in its laboratories, institutes and research centers.

Stanford is a thriving residential campus and community because of the extraordinary ways in which students share their curiosity and passions with one another. Because living and learning are intimately intertwined, Stanford provides a unique and supportive environment in which to learn and grow.

The Visitor Information Services (VIS) center is located in Memorial Auditorium. Visitors may obtain maps and information at this location. VIS provides one-hour campus walking tours free to the public each day at 11 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.- except during the winter break and on some holidays - starting at Memorial Auditorium.

"Die Luft der Freiheit weht" is Stanford's unofficial motto and translates as "the wind of freedom blows." The phrase is a quote from Ulrich von Hutten, a 16th-century humanist. Stanford's first president, David Starr Jordan, embraced the questioning, critical spirit of von Hutten's words and included them on his presidential seal. Gerhard Casper, president of Stanford from 1992 to 2000, adopted the motto as the basis of his inaugural address and encouraged its widespread use across the campus. The motto has been incorporated into the university seal, depicted on the left.
